When was the last time they actually met any targets in regards to housing numbers?
In most normal jobs you get the boot for not hitting targets
>“The government is dragging us slowly through a bureaucratic nightmare,” says Sinn Féin Councillor Daithí Doolan.
Fianna Fáil Councillor Deirdre Heney says delays are caused when councillors change their mind about deals to develop council-owned land, like the one for the site at Oscar Traynor Road in Coolock. (The project accounts for 341 social homes.)
Why doesn’t the Government just take building new social housing out of the power of councils? Why not have a state agency identify vacant land in councils and construct on it with zero say from the council. It would stop the Shinners and AAA-PBP doing their best to block new housing.
No doubt their changes will just involve increasing HAP and more long term leasing of btr apartments further screwing over people who are renting and not receiving state subsidies
They planned to make landlords richer.
100,000% improvement on 0 is still 0.
hardly surprising, they don’t want to build it as it will draw in undesirables, but it’s also a reason we need to reform social housing to make it more mixed rather than just social housing
Planning ban on taller buildings needs to be lifted. Dublin doesn’t have an iconic skyline. A tax on empty units needs to be in place and investment funds need tighter regulation so they can’t snap up and hold units.
Unless somebody can think of a way to get civil servants to not be useless or
private developers to not be greedy, we are not going to have enough social housing.

No shit. They aren’t building any themselves.
